I'm actually making my own from my LD's. I was pretty happy with my first attempt, but I know I can do better. I'm actually thankful for TR47 being around because they have helped fans get these films where I could not. I'm sorry to those who PM'ed me asking for copies of mine. Time hasn't been on my side. But at least, TR47 was able to come through.

To be honest, I never thought of selling mine. I just was doing it so that I could have the versions I want on DVD. I'll probably buy a dual layered burner after they come out and are proven to work well. I want a dual layered burner that does both + and -. I'm partial to - because I know my player plays though.

As far as prices go. I don't know what I would sell my copies for once I finished and was satisfied with them. Maybe $30-$40. It really would depend. Again I apologize to those asking for a copy from me. It is going to be a while before I finish mine. Mine has menus, but they are just static instead of being fancy with motion and music and such.

I know the risk TR47 is talking about. That is pretty much all I will say on that. I think we should all be civil here. If one doesn't like his prices, they do not have to buy. They can either buy bootlegs from Ebay, buy the Official release, or spend the money to buy an LD Player, the LD's, PC equipment powerful enough to capture and encode video, software, etc and make their own. Not to mention the research involved in doing this properly. I would actually encourage everyone who wants the Original Versions, but doesn't want to buy bootlegs to make their own.

There is also one last option I didn't mention. Wait until 9/21/04 to see if the Original Versions are really not going to be included. I'm not holding my breath, but you never know with Lucas' ever fickle mind. Anything could happen. This last option is one factor that has slowed me a little. I have the LD's, so I won't be too upset if he doesn't include the Original Versions, as I can then begin work on my own. I probably won't wait that long, but I'm going to take my time when I do this.
